Calendar / Date Dim Table rendering all visuals blank

[Gingerjeans88]

Hi,

Perhaps I am missing a couple of steps somewhere along the line. 

I need a custom 'academic year' calendar table because my client's year runs from 31st - 30th Aug (inclusive). 

I have worke through and created this, but when I start to relate it to my fact tables (there are many!) all of my previously-created visuals using dates (dates that are just columns in my fact table) break and show 'BLANK'. 

Do I need to relate the Date from the Date table to every single date column in every single fact table? How do I get past the fact that most of these already have active relationships so won't accept another?

A bit lost! I need the calendar to enable me to do things easily like SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR and YTD and YoY etc. 

MAny thanks!

@Gingerjeans88 , YTD and LYTd should work with calendar table

YTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESYTD('Date'[Date],"8/30"))
Last YTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESYTD(dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,Year),"8/30"))

Give you calendar in excel , like month qtr and year how you call, I will try to create
